So, what is your final opinion on this game?

>>385123596
It's good

Disappointing but not awful.

7.5/10

>>385123727
Why is it disappointing?

>>385123596
It was okay. Some interesting concepts but lackluster execution. It didn't have enough of what I like about Zelda, namely quality dungeon content. The shrines were shit and a waste of development resources.

Link is cute though.

>>385123596
10/10. Unironically the best game I've played in at least five years.

A very fun game. Not my favorite Zelda, but I think it's exactly what the series needed.

The biggest issue it has is in variety and enemy reuse. I enjoyed Shrines and Divine Beasts, but going through so many areas with the exact same Sheikah tech aesthetic gets tiring. There's not a huge amount of enemies, and when they do get recycled it's not in an interesting way that contributes to variety. The whole food system should probably have been rebalanced, too.

I hope the next game sacrifices a bit of geographic size for more enemy/dungeon variety.

Because he wants to be contrarian to get a reaction. Even if he comes up with some 'reasons' they'll be massively over-exaggerated points that he's parroting from someone else. Anon hasn't got a creative bone in his body.

>>385123596
10/10, one of the best games I've ever played.

>>385123596
Was pretty fun for the first 30 hours but after running out of things to do in the story, its just got dull super fast.

9.5/10
Almost perfect.
No endgame.

>>385123596
Ehh I had fun.
Ending could've been improved by having Zelda share the same fate with the champions.
It has been a 100 years and there's no shrine of resurrection bullshit for her.

Insert confused anime girl with question marks

I have a question.

Is there more DLC coming or is the "hard mode"-dlc the end of it all?

I was really hoping for something that adds more substance to the world.

The story was trash but everything else was cool

Around Christmas, the expansion is coming out. It has a newstory oriented questline with "30 hours of gameplay" whatever that means. Its a backstory questline with the Justice Friends or whatever they were called.

>>385124482
Master Trials + Hard Mode were only the first half of the DLC, second half is called The Champion's Ballad and it supposedly contains a new dungeon, slated for Holiday 2017.

>>385123596
My only real complaint is that the voice acting is so bad I kinda wish they hadn't bothered.

It's reminding me a whole lot of the reception to Fallout 3. Everyone shat themselves over the open world and interactions and guns while I was sitting there going "this game is broken easy, the writing is shit, you have zero freedom, and non-combat builds are almost completely unviable and no fun besides"

I don't think its the greatest game ever made and I think there's plenty that could be improved upon in the future, but it still draws me in after 120+ hours of gameplay.

>>385124783
>you have zero freedom

How does this even apply to BoTW?

Amazing, but definitely not perfect. One of the best Zelda games, but probably not the absolute best.

The core gameplay is great. The world feels fun to explore. My only gripes with it are that I wish Ganon had more of a character to him, I wish the Divine Beasts posed more of a challenge, and I wish there was more variety in enemies.

It's a great base to build off of though, so if they do another game in this style (which they probably will), it can only get better from here.

>>385125417
It applies to Fallout 3. Lrn2Read.

>>385125926
Yes, I made a comparison between BoTW and Fallout 3 in terms of the disparity of my opinion and others . I then listed more details about my reaction to fallout 3 to make the disparity in my comparison more clear.

Well it's the best Zelda game ever made, so there's that. Only Majora's Mask comes close.

Not as good as everyone says it is

If it had dungeons, challenging bosses, more interesting and in-depth character side quests and larger, more detailed town it'd be the best game ever made

As it stands I'd probably rate it 7/10, great game but nowhere near perfect

>>385123596
9.8/10, beat 3D Zelda without any competition, possibly best Zelda. All I want is a bit more enemy variety and maybe a larger more traditional dungeon added in. Shrines are great and encourage exploring on of the best open worlds ever crafted, but damn if I don't want more locked doors and mazes.

botw is proof that gamers believe that they are playing a good game because it fakes engagement and breadth when in reality it's a shallow shit of a game that barely touches the experience of past zelda games, especially the top rated ones being Ocarina and Lttp, the games that actually brought and sustained the series in the limelight.

Not enough Purrah porn

Very good bust mostly extremely promising, which is also probably why this game was reviewed so high despite having some obvious flaws.

They did lots of mistakes on some big (shrines variety, bestiary, quests rewards) or small details (breakable weapons balancing, cooking makes no sense, life refilling items usable from the start menu...). But in the end, the overall quality and content of the game is pretty much excellent and it was an extremely fun experience. To be honest it's probably the only open world I didn't dropped (and I liked until the end) in years.

It's great at being a bad LoZ game. That is to say that the non-LoZ elements of the game are great while the LoZ elements of the game are pretty poor.

>>385123596
Good but forgettable. I liked exploring the world but at the end or the day its just a bunch of shrines. Figure out how to open that stone door in the snowboarding region? Enjoy the really cool looking cave with you guessed it, a shrine. Fight past the guardians in that long underground temple area and theres a shrine waiting for you at the end.

And the shrines themselves were fine but its just not enough to stand up on its own with how pitiful the divine beasts are.

No one cares about any other character in Botw because the game has little to no story to connect you emotionally with anyone. You had more connection with Saria, for instance, than you had with Purah.

>>385123596
Needed less overworld, more dungeons. Armor upgrades are a completely unfun game of hot and cold that was so tedious I just decided to go through the game with basic armour and git gud rather than spend 20 hours on a scavenger hunt. My entire time with the game felt like a blur of tedium. This is one of the few Zelda games that I'm probably never going to replay.

>>385126662
OoT is the only game you mentioned that fits your description of BotW. And no, TLoZ brought the series into the limelight, OoT turned it stale.

for the first time in 5 years i started skipping out of work to play a video game. i was that into it.

stopped you there. I hate it because I was a zelda fan who got shit on with shit like WW, TP, then SS, then those shitty spinoffs on handheld, and finally this game, all of them breaking more and more away from what makes zelda zelda. And people wonder why the ratings kept falling on zelda games after n64. You guys can't stomach that Nintendo got worse. They aren't the devs people crack them up to be. I've long since departed on the idea of them ever making a good zelda game again.

>>385127203

I am 100% right.

You brought up Fallout 3 purely to say "Here's another instance of when I disagreed with a popular opinion." without presenting any kind of criticism of BotW, other than some smug satisfaction that you don't like something a lot of other people like. Dig deeper in that smug reaction folder, bitch boy, it doesn't make you any less of a contrarian with no real arguments.

>>385127382

Nintendo are a fucking joke now. They are completely outdated and the most they can do is make games for fucking children and terrible gimmicky consoles with weak power even for console standards. Which is exactly why a game like this came out of left field, and it's a fucking crime that it's also being essentially held hostage by such shitty limited systems.

I'm sure for casuals who just want to drop into a game and faff about for an hour trying to get a tree to roll over a bokoblin it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

As for me, I'm sick to death of open world games. You've seen one mountaintop view you've seen them all. Zelda isn't even particularly good looking to begin with, especially compared to other sandbox games.

The actual good parts of the game (3 of the dungeons) are ridiculously short and small and the rest is crappy puzzle rooms and an overworld brimming with shit I couldn't care less about.

Add "Open-world Zelda game" to the monkey's paw list.

>>385123596
It's a decent game that's worth a play through. It's a better open world game than a Zelda game. In fact ranked against other Zelda's I'd put it near the bottom; around the DS games, but better than SS. Hopefully they learn from their mistakes next time.

It is worrying that you appear to have wrapped up your own ego in something you had no part in creating, as well.

But I have literally every sony, nintendo, and sega console, a high end PC, an atari 2600, and a neo geo pocket color. Like what the fuck are you smoking? I have been playing Zelda since the 80s motherfucker, OoT jas always been a "good game" and that is about it. Never understood the hype when the three console games before it (and the LA) were better. OoT was just more cinematic, which is clearly your thing.

Objectively it seems like a well-made game with lots of love and polish.

Subjectively it does absolutely nothing I like or wanted, especially from a Zelda.

Wind Waker remains the best 3D Zelda.

>>385127838
It's pretty easy to tell you're too autistic to get the feeling of adventure that The Legend of Zelda gave to people when it first came out.

And there are plenty of special items in this game. The special weapons, the clothes. Shame there aren't any huge themed dungeons, but that's not that much of a detraction compared to what the game actually adds to the formula.

It's a real shame that you're too jaded to enjoy it.

>>385127861
botw was anything but zelda. botw fags never touched a game in their lives, no less grew up on them.

Fucking kek. oot was less cinematic than the bullshit that came out later. oot was the perfect blend of just enough cinematic then letting the world explain everything else. botw is not a zelda game. It's a game where you play as link in a minecraft-esque world that has no goals. The story is optional, the dungeons are non existent, and they give minigame shrines so you wont forget that you bought a video game instead of a panaroma simulator.

Exploration and traversal were throughly enjoyable until the whole map was discovered, which I did before any dungeons.

Shrines were a great addition. Dungeons were lame. They just felt like taking on 5 ez shrines in one go. I was mostly dissapointed how unpopulated the dungeons were with enemies. It was also an opportunity for unique dungeon only monsters instead of palette swapping the same 5 models. No mini bosses either? Wtf?

Food and item collection was neat. It became kinda useless after finding the tower near a durian fruit spawn. I would just make food from them and the rest of the food became useless imo.

Characters were enjoyable, but mostly forgettable. I was hoping for more interaction with the hero's of hyrule. For example, maybe go on a quest with them somewhere just to instill some small bond. Kinda like when you meet the Zora guy first time, but with more depth.

I enjoyed the labyrinth north of the guardian dude because there was a guardian graveyard underneath and it was probably one of my more enjoyable experiences.

Tech wise I played on Wii U. Frame rate isn't awful, but not great or silky smooth. As a PC tard my view is simple. Idc if it's 30 or 60. It has to be stable. Drops just ruin the "immersion" Also waaaayyyy too many jaggies.

I'm about to fight Ganon and for me the game sits at a firm 7/10. I hope they try the formula again and improve.

>>385128359
The LoZ had something of interest on every screen. BotW has plenty of empty space in comparison. And one of the greatest feeling during any Zelda game is obtaining a new item and thinking about how you can use that to progress further. BotW utterly lacks that. BotW even has less enemy types than LoZ, despite being released 31 years later.

>>385128241
Past games did it better. Much much better. In botw, you had no connection whatsoever to anyone. If they didnt want to tell a story, then all the memories should have been removed and all dialogue dropped. Nintendo was clearly trying to keep some semblance of story in it, considering their investment in voice acting and cutscenes as your exploration reward.

>>385128490
OoT was literally a more cinematic, smaller versiom of ALttP. SM64 was nothing like any past Mario game, and every 3D Mario since has tried to be different and fresh rather than copying 64.

It's pretty good until you've done like half the shrines, gathered ~200 korok seeds and explored the map
After that the motivation to continue playing drops sharply because you've basically seen everything.
It also has no replay value whatsoever.

It's the weakest of all 3D Zelda games.

I 100% am sure you or most people enjoying botw never touched the first game in your lives.

Btw, the first zelda was a very poor game. It was a basic action adventure that only holds prestige today because a link to the past changed the series forever.

>>385128631
There were tons of shrines with 5+ rooms. Try playing the game every now and then.

It has plenty of empty space to give you room to travel. Cluttering shit everywhere to please ADD riddled faggots is counterproductive to having a vast world that is interesting to explore. Pic related is you btw.

>one of the greatest feeling during any Zelda game is obtaining a new item and thinking about how you can use that to progress further

Which this game doesn't lack. Then again, it's not like you've played it.

>>385123596

Except it is. Botw is a zelda game where you actually don't ever need to finish it. It's literally a daily chore game. Like other open world games, especially of the survival variety. Out of all the botw reviews, I've yet to see anyone talk about this game with the allure or connection that people talked about past zelda games, especially the snes, gameboy, and n64 zeldas. All people have been saying are:

>it looks pretty
>i like being able to go where I want
>man I love the physics engine
>the game is hard cause my weapons break

And then when you ask them why the shrines have the same look, why are there no dungeons from past zelda games, why the story is non existent, why the enemy depth is barren, and why the game's life is non existent, they say nothing because they never were focused on those aspects to begin with. Which is fine cause no casual would ever discern why botw is a bad game.

>>385123596
A repetitive grind, but the best grind I have ever had the pleasure to experience. 4 stars

>Which this game doesn't lack

Not him but the game absolutely does lack that. Most of your toolkit gets frontloaded on the Great Plateau. After that the only major upgrade is the Zora Armor which has very limited uses. Revali's Gale is kind of neat I guess but it's 100% unnecessary and actually breaks a lot of the game. Compared to previous Zeldas, the progression is incredibly barebones.

Hyrule felt very organic and natural in a way that other open world games haven't for me idk what it was about it exactly but it felt like a real place.

The physics were awesome and remarkably consistent in fact I don't think I encountered one bug in the entire game which was nice. I think this game was a rare case of emergent gameplay done right.

>>385129104
The appeal of exploration in past Zelda games is that you get new items that let you accomplish more. In BotW, all you get is a disposable weapon. In previous games, Link would slowly become a one-man army. In BotW, you remain pretty much the same after you leave the Great Plateau.

It's okay, I don't expect a brainlet such as yourself to understand why BotW fails as a Zelda game. Just keep enjoying collecting your Korok seeds for no reason.

>>385123596

>>385129497
A bad game cannot be good. When botw has dungeons, a story, not half assed music, a cast I give a damn about, a villain that's actually present, and a world that feels like it's living, give me a call. Oh, and make sure everyone currently on the zelda dev team are fired, cause they havent made a good zelda in ages.

I really really fucking hate that bright, simple color style of the modern zelda games. From WW to SS it's an eyesore. Whatever happened to just using some more detailed textures to tell your visual color and letting everything speak for itself without some shitty filter like TP did?

I loved it, though I definitely feel like it was lacking in the story aspect as well as the dungeons. There's also a ton of nitpicky things that I dislike but they don't really hamper my overall enjoyment.

I played it for 85 hours which means it's good value

>>385130086
Fuck no it wasn't, it was a major aspect of the game, even in LoZ. LttP pretty much cemented it as a central feature of the series.

Hands down one of the best games ever made. The sense of exploration is second to none, gameplay fluid and amount of content is more than I had hoped for. Unfortunately, it is one of the games that you cannot play for the first time ever again. 10/10

>>385130121
You played it for that long cause it's the only game you had on the switch. The game also pads the entire game and make you have to do something very long before you get it, such as wasting ten to twenty minutes getting somewhere, and then wasting more of that time cause of some shrine or rain. What people dont realize about botw is that they should actually be hating this game for doing this shit to make you extend your playtime. Normally when a game has a lot of play time, it's because you've been doing things at a greater frequency cause you had content to keep you content. Even past jrpgs had more content than this game. What you really mean when you say you played 85 hours is that you played an actual ten hours of actual content.

BotW is a pretty good base to build upon, 3D Zelda games typically have a weak overworld while BotW almost nails that aspect. However, in other Zelda games the overworld is simply a way to connect the meat of the game together (i.e. the dungeons). BotW's overworld is pretty much all there is to the game, the shrines are nice as far as puzzles go and there are plenty of them to keep you busy but there's no significant reward for clearing them compared to the rewards you got for clearing a dungeon in past Zelda games.

I'm glad that BotW was made, it's a breath of fresh air in a series that was getting formulaic. If BotW had multiple full-scale dungeons and scaled its progression a bit better then it would be perfect. Dungeons and boss battles is one of the things that the later Zelda games managed to do really well so it's a shame that BotW didn't keep the same quality in that department despite improving other areas.

>>385129998

I still really enjoyed it as well as my Switch, but anyone who rates BotW over an 8 is sperg who can't separate a company and legacy from this game.

>Yugo is precious cinnamon roll

Their artstyle was fitting for a game about a kid growing into age and experiencing the darkness of the world's dangers. The experience of walking into the creepy atmospheric Deku Tree with a very soft tune was the beginning of what would be a great adventure game.

Also video games cannot age, faggot. Your standards, do. Sometimes for the worse as I clearly see.

>>385130594
>video games cannot age
The graphics can and that's what you were talking about you stupid fuck. Not the quality of the game.

>>385130751

No again only your standards age. The graphics are the same for when they were made. Nothing aged about them.

>>385123596
It was a lot of fun. I'm really glad they tried something a bit different with BotW, as I was getting a bit tired of the traditional Zelda formula. It was hard to put down at times, since every time I found something like a shrine or some treasure, there was always something interesting not too far away I wanted to see. I wish the dungeons were a bit more unique, at least visually.

>>385127058

See this is why I wish people like you would gtfo of the game industry. You're ruining everything. That formula is what made zelda games work. And you're confusing formula for "thats what all the journalists say so it must be true." The only semblance of that formula in the game is at the very beginning when you meet the old man. Then it disappears into the wind just like he did, and you're suddenly reminded that this is no longer a zelda game.

Hearty foods always restore max, that's their gimmick.
The problem is their effect can be overridden if they're not the majority:

>Throw Durian in the pot
>Simmered fruit, full + 4

>Throw durian and 3 other fruits
>Copious simmered fruit, 10 hearts no effect

>Throw two durians and 3 other fruits
>Copious simmered fruit, Max + 9

It's actually a pretty straightforward system, and I like it. The real issue with it is that RECIPES are impossible to figure out, specially online because no one understands that some ingredients give specific dishes, so if you want to learn how to make exactly a pilaf, you're fucked up as people won't realize some of the stuff you throw in are just "extras".

Look at this. This is IGN's guide to recipes:
www.ign.com/wikis/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/All_Recipes_and_Cookbook
LITERALLY the only online resource that compiles the dishes online and even they have some superfluous ingredients. They're still the ones who understand the cooking system the best in the whole wide web.

Now look at the comments. There's a whole bunch of faggots complaining that these don't say heart values and are thus pointless when THAT'S NOT THE GODDAMNED POINT YOU FUCKING RETARDS.

>>385130940

>>385123596
I'm playing again since i got the DLC 2 days ago and i didn't think i'd still enjoy it so much. It's not perfect but its flaws aren't glaring enough to taint the things it got right.

Zelda has not been this unperfectly good since WW. It's an instant classic.

It's not perfect, there are ways it could have been better but the core gameplay loop and enjoyment of exploring are simple, elegant masterwork which make the game my GOTY and one of my favorites of all time. I think adventure games need to build off this foundation and learn from it the same way they did from OoT all those years ago.

>>385133985

But it was, and you not being able to see how is just a testament to your lack of discerning taste.

My favorite part of 3D Zelda games was always just checking out the overworld with each new item I got seeing what little hidden nooks I could find. Even though it wasn't the focus of the games they somehow did it better than most anything else I tried.

Simply put, BotW is the bits I loved about the previous 3D Zelda's with all the filler removed. I loved it.

I think the first 5 hours were the best, but then it got stale.

It's missing something, for me it's missing some toggeable survival elements like in Fallout New Vegas, a toggeable option to only save in specific places like maybe inns and specially the removal of fast travel.

Unlimited dast travel is the most lazy approach to this type of games, how could Morrowind managed to do it right in 2003 but almost every other single game doesn't? I believe the current model of fast travel destroys the sense of adventure, and no, just simply not using it solves any problem, if the game is designed with that mechanic/gimmick in place not using it solves nothing.

>>385123596
My opinion depends on the thread. If the thread is praising it i will shitpost that it sucks and pretend to be a sonyfag.

>>385134914
>if the game is designed with that mechanic/gimmick in place

Those buzzwords don't mean much anon. How is a game designed with that mechanic in place? You mean to say that it already has it? And by the way, Morrowind had fast travel very similar to this game, it was just more annoying to use.

>>385134584
I really don't understand how tedium adds to the formula other than wishing that you were playing a different Zelda game while your were playing this Zelda game.

Horses: Damn near useless since their range of summoning is incredibly small
Weapons: breaking just is not fun and having to open the menu after it breaks pauses combat
Weather: just became ungodly annoying after awhile. No song of storms or song of time to change weather and day/night cycle either.
Items/Collectables: since items were disposable I was just tossing out anything willy nilly just to get the treasure icon marked on the shrine map. Having to choose between heartpiece and Stamina upgrades was shit especially since you can't max both of them out even after doing 120 shrines. They really should have just axed stamnina all together, it wasn't welcome in Skyward Sword it's still not welcome here. No Hookshot/Longshot, no Pegasus boots, you have crafting in the game yet can't craft arrows or forge weapons and shields. Your only upgrades are just minimal inventory space expansion instead of new perma items. 900 korok seeds are the most tedious collectable and fill the map with them instead of interesting locations or bosses
Dungeons: I cleared all 4 within a 2 hour time peroid The meat of the game is shrines but the dungeons are the shortest part of content that you do related to the main game.

Nintendo has some good ideas with breath of the wild but they need better execution. it was like one step forward and two steps back with many of the game's systems.

>I really don't understand how tedium adds to the formula

I guess manchildren won't like the outdoors even in videogames.

>>385135774
But it's not even an accurate outdoors game either. Final Fantasy 15 had a more realistic version of camping than BOTW.

>>385135398
First of all, Morrowind didn't have fast travel to begin with, you got certain points were you can catch a travel to go from one city to another, and there were not a lot of them.
In BoTW you just open the map and go to one of the 100+ shrines, it doesn't matter where you at or how long is the shrine you want to go.

A game is designed around fast travel when it doesn't have things like travel places, like the trains in Fallout 2 or New Vegas. The most common example of a game that's made with no quick travel in mind is the first half of Dark Souls.
That game uses a lot of shortcuts to go from one place to another quickly without having to teleport. Granted the second half felt a little more rushed and they introduced fast travel.

Think about how useful are the horses in BoTW, why even bother? It's faster to just go jumping from shrine to shrine. I could also talk about how much I hate quick saving in this game, but I think you get the idea.

If you never bothered fully exploring the Tabantha Frontier or Geurudo Highlands you don't know how annoying the exploration mechanics can be. This is just to kill all the boss monsters, get all Shrines, and collect the Korok seeds. There are large large large areas of nothing where you have to run across because the horses can't be summoned there. Everything takes forever since the cliffs are ungodly high and there are no conventional fast travel points.so there is loads upon loads of back tracking. Even if you have the snowboots it still takes forever to cross these places. Poor design, poor layout, and you'll burn through loads of cold resistant potions so you should farm those up before you go. The Cold resistant armor take longer to max out and even then offers little protection from the mobs. Best way is to use Hylean Soldier's armor so you don't wind up accidently dying to the infinite number of ice keese that won't leave you alone at night.

>>385131130
Or just make the game better. Take off those goggles child.

I really liked it until I was done with the third divine beast. After that I'd already seen everything thrice so exploring wasn't interesting, and I realised the enemies, weapons etc. were all there was gonna be. Also any chance of dying or losing was gone after learning cooking and getting durians and bananas. I really hated everything about Eldin, gorons and the lizard beast.

However, it took much longer than most games to reach this point (I took my time) and was very enjoyable until then.

Also the final fight was disappointingly easy (esp.dark beast), and as we all know no postgame.

8.5/10 on a non-inflated scale.

will BotW ever be as mod-friendly as Skyrim?

>>385134795
Filler removed? LMAO this game has the most filler yet! You really are a simpleton

>>385136980
protip: one cold protection clothing item and equipping a flame weapon allows you to stay toasty in probably every area of the game. Also you can just bomb keese and run away from most other things. But yes, large plains and endless cliffs are just a timesink and not very exciting.

>>385137579
yes I did that with the flame weapon and cold protection gear initially, but it just turned out to be easier by having a billion chili peppers with maxed out Hylean armor.

>>385123727
This is same conclusion I ended up with. Yes, the physics are nice and the open world with a Zelda aesthetic is pretty neat. But it still has its issues. The beasts weren't my cup of tea, the shrines get repetitive after a while and for every interesting locale, you're reminded that the end result or reward is either a shrine or a korok, or worse, nothing you really need. The enemy variety is weak, too. 100 or so minibosses, but they're the same two monsters with more health or a resistance. The lynels are fine, but why not have more elite enemies like it? There's sure as hell enough space, and at times the game is just that - empty.

I got my time out of it, and the DLC isn't looking to be my cup of tea, so I'll have to wait until the next game to see if they improve on it. Hopefully it won't take another six years to release.

>>385134152

WW is great despite it's flaws. TP and SS fell flat in comparison. BotW is as important for the series as WW at the very minimum.

honestly it feels very little like a zelda game due to it's weird inconsistency, the world is amazing to explore but the shrines are loading screens magnets that interrupt the flow of the game,

the divine beasts are "fine" but hardly comparable to the temples of older games, plus they feel so disconnected from the main game, they feel half hassed,

there's this big bild-up of the sheikah and their failure with the machines but it never goes fucking anywhere, same goes for the Yiga, their history is full of blood, betrayals and murders yet in game they are bunch of retards with zero preparation and their leader is a comic relief imbecile with no story, it's like the people who made the story cutscene scripts had no idea what game they were working on

>>385134914
>>385136129
if you dislike the fast travel you can just not use it, it's entirely optional and you're never actually required to use it. Quick travel exists in the game in the form of horses and stasis tricks (see >>385132694) as well as gliding.

>In BoTW you just open the map and go to one of the 100+ shrines

yeah you have to fucking find them and COMPLETE them first you mongoloid

50 minutes from point A to B? You didn't play Morrowind ever, don't lie.
If you are going to use the nostalgia and that people have jobs now argument you can go to neogaf where fellow grands will greet you.

You are completly missing the point, what does it matter you have to discover them first?

>Unlimited dast travel is the most lazy approach to this type of games
Literally just don't use it. I played though the game on normal and master and I never used fast travel once.

Loved the shrines as a means to throw out certain puzzles or challenges without throwing them randomly into a dungeon.

Loved the combat and movement overall.

Hated the divine beasts and dungeons. I miss ACTUAL dungeons. With ACTUAL themes.

The fact that the game had to be balanced around 3 hearts to go do whatever you wanted sucked. I'd rather it be open world with a "suggestion" to go here first but really you can tell it to fuck off and do what you want.

What about Hyrule Castle?

Shit was dope. Dangerous enough to fuck you up if you went too early, plenty of ways to get around, and totally mandatory if you wanted that memory early on.

He's a fucking pleb with no taste. The Divine Beasts make use of the 3D space better than any Zelda dungeon ever.

>lol
